Chapter 1489 Using The Cube

Or else they'd go directly towards detonating everything and not care about activating any buried tech in their lands.

I couldn't tell if they were going to activate both or just a single one. But my hunch told me they'd go to activate the two, and that was why I asked Lily to gush endless forces, not only towards the jumper's direction, but towards the remaining homelands of the enemy.

I told her to send most of our forces there, and appoint capable generals to lead the armies there. I spoke about the buried lost tech, their role and level of threat.

I instructed her to let her forces look for any gathering of the enemy, where they were digging the ground or trying to do some sort of ceremony.

It was safe to assume that the way to activate such tech depended on the same method, which I already guessed.

"Nothing in the world runs without energy," I knew this was the sacred rule in my universe, in any universe, "so they need tons of forces to gush their energies inside these buried artefacts to activate them."

I wanted to ask Lily to send forces to retrieve these buried things, but refrained from doing so. What if these buried techs only needed to get unearthed to get activated? What if they unleashed a world scale pulse wave that killed and absorbed the energy from everyone there?

It wasn't safe to entrust such a task to my forces. It was safer for me to wait till the end of this quest, and then speak with the system higher ups about the plans regarding the cluster of worlds here.

I got this idea when I thought about practical ways to handle the issue of the overpopulation I had. If I managed to claim ownership over this quest territory, then it'd be awesome!

There were tons of defensive measures imposed here by the enemy, to secure this place from anyone trying to reach them from outside.

Only by following preset rules and conditions would anyone come here. And it seemed like there were tons of limitations over anyone coming here.

That would mean no matter what, this small universe was more secure than almost all of the normal worlds back at my universe. Not to mention there were thirty different sized worlds here that I could inhabit and let my forces live in.

Even if I got forced to merge them together in one single world, just like what was happening with my Earth and other worlds at my apocalypse, it wasn't going to be bad.

The end result would be a grand world, one that I could send endless races and forces there to live and reproduce without worrying about anything.

Yet that all required the agreement of the system higher ups. If I knew about such a problem before, I'd include the ownership of this entire quest area in the rewards of winning the quest.

But now I had to start another round of negotiations, one that would force me to pay tons of bones as a price, or promise to do something reckless for the sake of those greedy higher ups!

That was something I'd have to worry about later. For now, I took out my cube, tons of my normal bones, and activated it.

I was standing at the edge of one of the most brutal fights here. The enemy were trying to infiltrate all the way towards the portal linking this zone with outside.

Their goal and target was clear, they wanted to crush this portal down, cut any connection between this zone and the outside world.

This was indeed a good plan, but the number of forces on my side kept it impossible for them to achieve such a goal. Not to mention that… I was already here!

*Fwoosh!* The cube took ten minutes before it absorbed the entire forces in tens of thousands of miles around.

The cube sucked in everything, be it my forces of the enemies', all vanished and left an empty and weirdly silent world.

This place was filled with tons of shouts, noises of clashing weapons, and explosions of the deadly attacks from both sides.

But right now this is all gone! Even the worms underground got sucked in as well, leaving not a single living soul behind except for me.

*Flash!* *Flash!* Flash!* and just in the next instant, the portal flashed and released new waves of my forces. They got to see such a weird silent and calm world here, making them pause in their tracks.

It seemed news spread outside this zone, speaking about how hellish this battle was. I didn't know for how many miles this zone stretched, but I was sure that my cube already covered enough area to make my forces gain the upper hand here.

"Start spreading all around," I held my horn, cleared my throat, before adding, "don't block the entrance of others… Start moving and start barricading the entire zone."

Finding what they didn't expect, they all stood in place and crowded the area around the portal. If they kept standing there for long, the portal would stop gushing out new forces.

So I gave them instructions, left them to move around, do whatever they'd like to. The enemy just lost forces he stacked for a long time in a tens of thousands of miles radius.

It cost me a lot of bones to power up the cube to do this, but it was indeed worthy of such trade.

​ After giving them the simple instructions about what to do next, I started to fly towards the horizon.

The enemy suffered a big loss, but they'd not stop coming here nonetheless. I sucked in lots of my forces as well, yet didn't plan on getting them out for now.

All of these forces, all including the elite forces of the enemy, would end up serving me when I'd arrive at the angelic world.

No matter what awaited me there, I planned to invade that world with a big bang! I'd release all the endless forces I got inside the cube so far, letting them go and fight for their lives, forcing the enemy to fall back, or desperately fight until they'd fall dead.
